Andrew might add this to mm.git while fixing the checkpatch warning on his own.
Let's give time for Andrew today.
I also added this to damon/next tree after fixing the warning. If Andrew
doesn't pick this with the fix today, I will post mine as v2 of this patch
tomorrow. If you prefer to do the v2 posting on your own, just let me know :)
Thanks,
SJ
